It’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind.

My self proclaimed word for 2014 is peace.

Yet this morning, I changed my mind and decided to ditch peace for another word.

PEACE

Don’t get me wrong.  I’m all for peace.  Really.  And I still plan to focus on making my life a peaceful existence.

But it’s become increasingly and alarming clear that my word for 2014 needs to be……..

CHANGE

There are some things in my life I absolutely must change.  Behaviors.  Thought patterns.  Attitudes.  Reactions.  Habits.

Because if I don’t……  Well, honestly, if I don’t, it won’t be good.  And my life will change in ways that will drastically affect me.

I realize you, my reader friend, might be thinking……

What the Helsinki is she talking about?  What specifically does she need to change?

Really, that’s not the point.  Just trust me.  I need to and want to make positive strides in the direction I need to.  Before it’s too late.  And what better time to commit than here as I begin a new year?

So here goes.

One of the more generous things we can do for another person: believe in their capacity to change. ~ Alain de Botton
